Big Idea Many important practical and mathematical applications involve comparing quantities of one kind or another; it is important to know which method to use and how we should use them. Problem 1.1 A. Describe what you think each of the four statements means. Explain how each shows a comparison. Be sure to tell what is being compared and how it is being compared.

I think the second statement because it shows the difference between the two drinks by showing the exact number of ratios.
D.Which comparison do you think would be the most effective advertisement for Bolda Cola? Why?
The last statement because it shows the Bolda Cola is 60% so it means that Bolda Cola is greater then Cola Nola.
